Lino Printing for Beginners – 18th September – October 30th

Lino Printing for Beginners – 18th September – October 30th

Lino printing is a form of printmaking, where the printing plate is cut into lino. Yes, lino as in linoleum, as in the floor covering. The lino is then inked, a piece of paper placed over it, and pressure applied by hand to transfer the ink to the paper. The result, a linocut print. Because it’s a smooth surface, the lino itself doesn’t add texture to the print.

This 6 week course is for those who are looking to try something new, or perhaps can remember having a go at this when they were in school!
